Actually, proposal (A) does provide such a separation: notice that the
projects would go under *.postgresql.net, with the core database remaining
at *.postgresql.org. I am not sure if that will provoke confusion or
not, but I think I like it better than pgfoundry because it is clear
that the domains are related. pgfoundry seems a bit, um, random.
Agree with the last bit, but I really feel that the difference between
postgresql.org and postgresql.net is too subtle--at least for people who
don't work with either very often.
Just to speak up (as an avid lurker), I agree with Jeroen that this distinction is quite subtle and may cause confusion. Some may even expect the two to resolve to the same site, as a lot of popular sites own .com/.net/.org, all resolving to the same site.
This can be read as support for *.pgfoundry.org, *.postgresql.org, or *.pgfoundry.postgresql.org.
*.pgfoundry.org is short and clearly distinguished from postgresql.org
*.postgresql.org is short, and clearly associated with postgresql.org (of course!), but there's no clear distinction that the former gborg projects are separate from, say, developer.postgresql.org or techdocs.postgresql.org. Is this distinction important? Maybe not?
*.pgfoundry.postgresql.org is longer, clearly associated with postgresql.org, and clear that it's a distinct part of postgresql.org
